The morning light was faint, and the barracks were smoky.

The white broth in the cauldron was fragrant, and the disciples of the Taoist medicine sect checked them one by one, adding various medicinal materials from time to time.

Although it costs relatively little to forge the body of a soldier monk, if there is no meat and medicinal materials to assist in the daily body training, it will soon become deficient in blood and damage the foundation.

This is the reason for the decline of the government army.

Maintain an army, medicinal herbs, flesh, equipment, food... All kinds of materials must be available, not to mention the expansion of the army, just the normal operation every day, it consumes a lot.

When the world is chaotic, it is good to say that everything is based on force, but if the world is relatively stable, the government army will become a drag, the family supports the border army, the royal family maintains the central army, and the large and scattered government army in various places naturally gradually declines.

Fortunately, after the restructuring now, Yongan has gradually become richer, and it is no longer a problem to support the government army.

Yongan now has 3,000 government troops and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, at least for a long time, Wang Xuan does not plan to expand the army.

First, due to the limited population, these 5,000 troops have hollowed out the young and strong people of Yong'an, and the rest are either weak and unable to refine their bodies, or they are timid by nature and are accustomed to peace.

Not to mention that all walks of life require labor, if it weren't for the increasing prosperity of Yong'an and the influx of many people, it would have collapsed long ago.

Second, the government army is not much more expensive, a strong elite soldier can defeat several times the stragglers, and the extraordinary power of the world will infinitely magnify this advantage.

Therefore, after gaining a firm foothold in Yong'an, Wang Xuan's plan was to deepen the military reform while clearing the wasteland.

Who would have thought that the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and this sudden demonic chaos not only blocked the process of land reclamation, but also disrupted his plan.

Inside the military tent, the atmosphere was solemn.

All the high-level officials of the government army, except for Zhang Heng, who was on duty in the outpost fort, gathered together and sat on both sides of the hall.

Wang Xuan looked at the secret letter in his hand, and saw that there were only two short sentences on it: the tiger roared and the forest watched the wind and clouds, and the magnolia flower flew to the sky and the earth.

This is a secret letter that the king of Bingzhou has just sent.

Wang Xuan was puzzled at first, and then his brows stretched.

This first sentence makes it clear that his reputation as a fierce tiger is famous in all directions, and the roaring forest and the wind and clouds are to ask him to just open up the wasteland and wait for the changes in the situation.

As for this second sentence, magnolia flower flying, refers to the spring equinox three marquis, magnolia trade winds, heaven and earth clear, naturally refers to the matter will end then.

It seems that the king of the state has long known...

That's right, the high-level of Dayan knows far more information than him, and the number of smart people is innumerable, and the situation is changing between the falls, and as soon as the ban on witchcraft comes out, it is not only to stir up the dregs, but naturally there are follow-up means to deal with it.

Thinking back on various events, Wang Xuan seems to see a pair of big hands, playing a game with the world as a chess game.

The general trend of the unification of the human race is coming, and since the mastermind behind the scenes has fallen, of course, it will arouse the vigilance of all parties, I am afraid that they are all planning to deal with it, but they are worried about a battle in vain...

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan smiled dumbly, and then said in a deep voice: "Come on, go and invite Captain Tu Su to come." ”

Qinzhou's "Famous Generals" ranking, Tu Su Ziming was bent on finding the "Eight Scenes of Refining Form and Alchemy" last year, although he made great contributions to the family, but the income from the wasteland was not as good as that of other brothers, and he also lost most of his military strength, so he naturally fell behind in the ranking, and did not get the position of captain.

Fortunately, Tu Su's family praised it and increased resource support, and the strength of the Longfeng Mansion army was better than before.

Soon, Tu Su Ziming brought people to the big tent, and when they met, they smiled heartily, "Brother Wang is refreshed, he must have a countermeasure?" ”

"I can't talk about countermeasures."

Wang Xuan didn't talk nonsense, looking at the map hanging behind him, "I was just uncertain about some things before, but now I have a plan in my heart." ”

Tu Su Ziming became interested, "Oh, where did the plan come from?" ”

Wang Xuan stared at the map and smiled slightly, "Dare to ask Brother Tu Su, what are the plans for these monsters to sneak attack?" ”

Tu Su Ziming said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, it is naturally to disrupt the progress of the government army's land reclamation." ”

"It's not a secret, there are also evil cultivators in Longfeng County who tried to poison them, although they were killed on the spot, but after all, they made people panic, and they had to leave thousands of people to patrol day and night."

"That's right."

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Behind this strange immortal road is the alliance of old demons in the mountains, Yu Dayan is making trouble everywhere, it seems to be huge, but the power is also scattered, and he only dares to attack." This is a psychological war, and it is nothing more than to disrupt the rhythm of the government army. ”

"We just need to follow the steps and open up the wasteland as usual, in addition, organize another team of elite soldiers to hide secretly, and when the time comes, it is the other party who is in a hurry, and when it shows its flaws, it will be killed in one fell swoop!"

Tu Su Ziming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Those who are good at fighting, to people but not to others, this art of war is a way of truth and truth, Brother Wang is at his fingertips, and it is too late." ”

"Brother Tu Su is just concerned about chaos."

Wang Xuan smiled indifferently, "This matter is not in a hurry, Brother Tu Su can temporarily avoid the edge after he goes back, and in a few days, I will lead the army to the Kanyuan Mountain Range." ”

"Okay, according to Brother Wang's words."

Tu Su Ziming had already made up his mind at this time, and he left with his hand.

After he left, Wang Xuan said to his subordinates: "This time, the government armies of Yongan and Longfeng have joined forces, and the troops are sufficient. ”

"Liu Shun, you and Mo joined the army to stay behind, perform their duties, suppress evil and guard the border, and calm people's hearts."

"Mo Yunxiao, Du Chunni, the two of you are ready to fight, and when you are stunned, you will send troops to Kan Yuanshan!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

The spring rain is continuous, and there is a hidden fragrance of peach and plum flowers.

Wang Xuance returned to the mansion, naturally there were maids to change clothes and wash, Mo Qingrou personally cooked, and a sumptuous banquet soothed his body and mind.

Although the backyard of the government is not big, Mo Qing is soft and warm, and it is arranged exquisitely and warmly, accompanied by silk and bamboo music, wine and food, which is really happy.

The expedition is imminent, everything has been arranged, Wang Xuan naturally stayed at home to accompany his wife, after all, this departure is a few months.

It's night, nephrite is warm and fragrant, indescribable.

The next day, Wang Xuan pushed the door out, looking at Mo Qingrou, who was still sleeping in the house, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

My wife was really crazy last night...

He knew Mo Qingrou's intentions and couldn't wait to leave an heir for him, but he didn't know that he had secretly stuck to Yangguan.

Women give birth, men indulge in lust, both will hurt the foundation, Mo Qingrou feels that there is no hope for cultivation in this life, but he will not act recklessly.

He had already purchased the "Yin Soul Stand-in Method" from the Witch Sect Elder Granny Jin, this method can be used to temporarily replace the remnant soul with spiritual objects, although it is a clever and inferior technique, but it is an idea to solve the damage to Mo Qing's soft and cool soul.

During the Qingming season, the new body forging method can be deduced and completed, and the matter can be solved at that time.

When he came to the study, Wang Xuan immediately found that something was wrong.

He and Mo Qingrou are both book lovers, but they both have their own preferences, so they have their own bookshelves.

Mo Qingrou is talented and intelligent, and many things are involved, but she likes poetry and songs the most on weekdays, and now in front of her bookshelf, there are some classic books of formation refining weapons.

Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately called Bai Qin to ask.

"Back to my lord."

Bai Qin naturally didn't dare to hide it, and said in a low voice: "Madam said that husband and wife should support each other, she wants to study the way of formation, let the maids in the mansion form a formation to protect themselves, and also learn the way of refining weapons from the old lady..."

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, "Rou'er can't sense Lingqi, isn't it nonsense, you didn't persuade you?" ”

Bai Qin suddenly said aggrievedly: "Of course the slave and maid persuaded her, but the lady said that the water drop stone may be effective, and something must be done." ”

Wang Xuan was stunned, and then fell silent.

……

The light rain is new, and a thunderstorm begins.

The sky was covered with lead clouds, and there were occasional muffled thunder rolling, and outside the city of Yong'an, the people poured out of the city again, waiting on both sides of the official road.

It has become a custom in Yong'an to see off the army, and the army of the evil government is the children of each family, so they naturally share honor and disgrace.

The difference is that this time there are quite a few more people.

In addition to the county commander Li Siyuan and others, Mo Guanchao and his wife also took the Mo family to see them off, and Mo Qingrou got up early to personally dress for Wang Xuan.

After changing clothes, today's Yong'an Mansion Army is even more extraordinary.

The whole army is wearing Wujin Mountain armor, the silver relief of the four spirits on the chest is shining, holding the Kanli Demon Spear, the tiger army longbow on his back, the war horse is half covered with armor, and the saddle head dragon head appears...

The auxiliary soldiers are also full of baggage, in addition to the "Eight Desolations Frightened Drums" and "Heavy Lights" and other magic vein heavy weapons, as well as assembleable ballistas and stone-throwing vehicles, all of which are the equipment of the royal tiger army, although it is a low-profile version of five-color copper refining, but the power is also not to be underestimated...

This time, in addition to Guo Luquan, Old Man Yang, Chen Modao and others in the worship camp, Cen Xuzhou, a master of Diyuan Gate, will also accompany him, and with his help, he will definitely be able to gain something in the Kanyuan Mountain Range.

"Husband, drink this cup and return victoriously as soon as possible..."

Mo Qingrou held the wine bowl, her eyes full of reluctance.

Wang Xuan took it silently, drank it all, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Rou'er, you will move to the mountain city after I leave, and on the day you return, maybe you will be given a big surprise." ”

Mo Qingrou's eyes were slightly red, "Qingrou only wishes her husband to return safely..."

"Alright, alright."

Mrs. Mo hurriedly persuaded, "At this time, it is not the time for children to be in love, and the idle son-in-law can rest assured that he will go on the expedition, and he will be guarded by us at home." ”

"There is Lao Erlao."

Wang Xuan clenched his fists in a deep voice, and then turned over and jumped on the war horse.

The "dragon scales" given by the king of Bingzhou were originally tall and mighty, covered with scales, and now covered with "Flying Dragon Saddle" and bronze armor, like a monster, snorting out sparks, and seeing the surrounding people amazed.

"Troops, go!"

Wang Xuan gave an order, and suddenly the rolling steel torrent surged, and the earthquake trembled, heading towards the southwest mountains...
